Through period photographs and maps, illustrated banners from the California African American Museum call attention to the often unknown role of local Black churches as cultural, political and social centers for their communities in historic Los Angeles. Historic Black Churches consists of 10 color double sided banners highlighting the people, contributions, denominations and architecture of early Black churches established through 1945 within the Los Angeles neighborhoods of Temple Beaudry, Central Avenue, South Los Angeles and West Adams-Jefferson Park.
